THE PRINCIPAL PRIZEWINNERS,

(By Telegraph,—Special Correspondent.) ■?: '■:;{■■> Hastings, Ootober 21.' The Hawke's Bay Agricultural and , Pastoral Society's fifty-first spring show ; opened at Hastings to-day under the most ■ perfect'conditions. The weather wa3 ivarm and 'sininy.: :For a first day there was a;.remarkableattendance, of , the public, probably constituting a record in this respect. ' Visitors were present from all parts of tho Dominion. The \ ivar has naturally influenced the show, but the: entries,.though not equal to those at "the Jubilee Show, are extremely; satisfactory, even, showing an improvement on previous years in oiio or two classes. No inferior animals have made their appearance this year, tho pens maintaining a surprisingly good average. Taken all round the cattle and sheep arc as good as they have ever ■been, the beef classes .being particularly strong.,'-- '.-'■■■, The dairy cattle appear to toe' somewhat weaker than., usual, though' Gome fine quality is displayed in the Jerseys./ Polled' Angus sorts aro ako well up to the standard, while tho Shorthorns stand alono.for quality. .'■■ Sheep are not so' numerous as In ■ previous years, but there is not a bad niiimal'anioiig thorn. The lambs in thefat stock classes, as in fact •; right ' through the sheep section, are decidedly superior, and the export class for lambs suitable for. freezing forms a promising feature of the show. , . ■ • ■ ■•■ :. ThoTthoroughbred, harness, saddle, 'and farmers' horses are all well up,to. the average, and tho entries. in this j section-' aro quito satisfactory. Theall- '-. round:<[uality of the exhibits has given the judges a somewhat difficult task, but their awards have raised , no un- . favourable comments, and numerous competitors have expressed, their satisfaction,;at the results of the judging.
